    That's how I like to party! Another area I've written off and will withhold my $ from.

    Is the flashing blue light still at Winona/Sheridan? Oh, forget it. Those aren't a deterrent, they're just used to capture the offenders after the fact, right?

    Well, at least the got one by conventional means.

    Nice job following the scumbag and not getting seen. Wonder how long he had to tail that guy? Hopefully he resisted and caught a taser to the genitals...
